Organizing Hacks

Feeling overwhelmed with your stuff and don’t know where to start? We’ve all been there! Ready to part with at least 50% of what you own or maybe even 25%? Are you in the process of moving or soon to be? Here are a couple of fun little tips to help get you started! Remove everything you can from boxes or containers. Not only does this create more room but you can now see what you own right in front of your very eyes. In closets or pantries, store heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on the top. This is much easier on our bodies and makes things more accessible so you can get to what you need in a hurry! Next, try the twenty one item toss. Grab a large trash bag and collect three items from each room to discard until you reach twenty one. If feeling extra inspired, do another twenty one! And then another! Okay…you get the point. Also, always keep a large box in the back of your vehicle. This is a catch all for items you plan to take weekly or monthly to your local goodwill or recycling center. Lastly, vertical storage is always helpful. Vertical storage allows you to see what you own but is also an excellent way for getting items off the floor. There are many other small hacks that make organizing your own space so much easier but even trying these few things will enable you to get started on the right foot!
